A Syracuse University professor walked outside of his house to make a trip to the grocery store, only to find his driveway blocked by a white mini van. While waiting for the driver to return to the car, his wife called the non-emergency line of SPD, but there was no response, according to an SPD report.
When the driver finally returned to the vehicle, she was talking on her cell phone, and when the professor asked her to move her car, she responded with laughter, according to the report.
After he began to yell at her, a light colored Cadillac SUV pulled up to the house, and a short, stocky man left the car. According to the report, he approached the professor, and began to push him onto the lawn before returning to his vehicle. The professor told the SPD that the man then started to drive directly at him before leaving the scene.
When the police responded, the professor provided the officers with a license plate number, which was traced back to another Syracuse resident, according to the report. The investigation is still open as the professor was not able to identify the Syracuse resident in a photo line-up.

A 26-year-old Syracuse resident was arrested for possession of marijuana in the 100 block of Euclid Ave. at 12 p.m. on March 17, according to a report from the Syracuse Police Department. An officer found him with a joint in his hand, disguised as a hand-rolled cigarette.

Thats funny. Arrested for having a joint.
WTG Syracuse police, really cleaning up Syracuse. Keep arresting potheads up here on campus and let the gangsters keep shooting one another down on South Salina. (Continued…)
